Good point, Jesse ! The answer is YES !! :-)
I was on wheels when I drilled the first set - so they
were in front of the bulkheads .... later, a second set
of holes was needed behind, for floats....
It's amazing how much gets into the fuselage - my original
effort was triggered by finding about 25 lb of ice in the
aft fuselage !!! The snow blew in through gaps, melted,
& re-froze - could have been deadly !! Still warrants
careful checking, even with the holes, if ice is possible ....

Something I have been wondering and this seems like a good time to bring it
up: The uphill side of the fuselage bulkheads could be the front OR back,
depending on weather you are on floats or wheels. Which side should the
hole be on, or should there be one on each side? Thanks

Ditto to what Jim said. I had mine all labelled up For "rescue" pull
pin.... instead of Emergency... and was asked to change it because
someone may not undertand what rescue meant! $*(#$@(&&$$##
I'd go with Steve's suggestion... for emergency extraction rip door off !
If you follow the manual there isn't (or at least wasn't) any mention of
drain holes... but it is in Chapter 549. Good idea on the uphill side of
each bulkhead. Also should be some on the rear lower skin of the
wings/stab and anywhere else that you can't claim it will drain itself.
What control travel are you referring to?
#4 sure glad we imported Bob's Elite with TC instead of MDRA ! ;O)

Hi John - again with number 2, we put a little bend in the top of the
door hinge pin and then put a small sign that says "In Case of
Emergency pull pin". Some guys then put the tab inside (between the
door post and the door)
after the inspection so that someone at the local airport doesn't
decide to
pull the pin in order to borrow your GPS or anything else of value!
Cheers
